I don't think this'll "kill" the filesystem, but it will make it extremely unresponsive. I've seen situations with 50k+ files in a single directory, and it just took a long time to retrieve a file within the directory, or perform any operation within that directory. This was on a laptop, of all places. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ voice: (202) 797-5496 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
